Make A Conversation Foundation

Make A Conversation Foundation is based in Shop Number 5 of the Jeevandhara CHS. We are located on Shahaji Raje Marg in Vile Parle East, Mumbai. Being in a shop-front location means we see a lot of people walking by every day. The 400057 area is always buzzing, especially during the morning and evening rushes. Our space is small—it’s just a standard shop unit—but it works for what we do. We’ve got a few desks pushed against the walls and a bench for visitors to sit on. It’s not the kind of place with air conditioning that works all the time, but we keep the fans going to stay cool. We started this because we wanted to have a place where people could actually talk and connect. It’s a bit messy sometimes with flyers and paperwork, but that’s just how it goes when you’re busy. We don’t have a corporate office feel at all. It’s more like a local spot where you can drop in. The neighbors in the other shops know us, and we often chat with the tea seller nearby. We aren't trying to be a massive nonprofit with a huge reach; we just want to be useful right here in Vile Parle. Most days are spent on the phone or talking to people who pop their heads in. It’s simple work, but it keeps us on our toes. We’re just a small team trying to keep things moving every single day.
